Earlier, there were delays going in and out of Penn Station due to an investigation involving two trains bumping into each other as they were departing Jamaica Station.
The railroad said a Port Jefferson train bumped a Babylon train as the trains were entering the Jamaica station at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Passengers on both trains were evacuated. Two people suffered minor injuries.
NYC Transit is cross honoring LIRR ticket holders on the E, F, J and Z trains.
The incident is under investigation.
